Peace, the orphan in Nigerian football

Maigari's NFF fixed Jalla's arrest against court order

His name is
Harrison Jalla. Many people hate him and his dogged guts. No one, including
those who hate his face, will take it from him that he has two things: guts and
passion. If those who manage our game today have half of such values, we will
be rated in top five spots on FIFA rating.

Not all of us can
do great things. But we can do small things with great passion. That is him
defines in two sentences.

As a player of
Flash Flamengoes FC of Benin, that is him. He is a loyal fellow. He is loyal to
a defined cause. As team captain, he delivers.Makurdi Congress: Ever since the
afternoon we discussed, agreed and defined to fight the fundamental error
committed by the hoaxers and goaders of the visceral damagers of Nigerian
Football (from Sani Abdullahi Lulu to Aminu Maigari), till today, Jalla has
remained in the fight.

They are the
Byzantine tribe who destroyed the remaining legacies of our football. I prefer
to call the Nigerian Football Fraudsters (NFF).

It is my prayers
that the quality of justice and progress they brought to our football, God in
His infinite mercy shall give them a geometric dividend and return in their
personal lives.

For we in what is
classified as "opposition", it is the same prayer.
For all those who conspire and are used as tools in the suppression of what is
good for Nigerian kids in football, including the Police, may their own ranks
too share in this 'prayer'.

Last line: Jalla had invested faith in Nigerian football of which we are its
products. He was betrayed by people he brought to the fray. They want to
survive. They forgot some people sacrificed to survive to enable them get where
they are today. May that survival remain a life feature for them. They will
never stop surviving. They broke the house and became errand boys. They will
remain errand boys all their lives.

If Jalla had been a
violent person, this fight would have been over a long time. He believes in the
courts. That is why he consistently returns to the courts on virtually every
issue of conflict.

The twice court-declared illegal NFF paid
policemen to arrest Jalla since Friday against the expressed orders of two
courts of law, kept him in police detention. Great. We shall await that
outcome.
For Nigerian football, this is the final knell. The dead in the grave are at
war. Let all living souls scamper. It is an all out war hence. If the nation's
peace is price, it shall be paid.

More arrests have
to be made or these injustice continues.
Peace has departed from the house of our football. No more decorum.

The celebration of the arrest in the precincts of the NFF shall soon turn to pains, pangs and call of persecution. Watch out.
